Mohar begins his eighth season as the assistant coach for the Oles in 2015-16. His primary responsibilities are working with the defensemen and special teams. In addition, Mark has been instrumental with helping with the recruiting of future student athletes.   As a player Mark graduated from Irondale High School in 2002 where he played for Bazzachini for three seasons. His work ethic both on and off the ice were unmatched and he was rewarded by leading his team in goals scored as a senior.   While attending the University of Minnesotas IT program, Mark started his coaching career in the Irondale youth hockey program. He served as the Director of the boys program for three seasons. His duties included coordinating and conducting youth try outs, selection and development of youth coaches, and the development of skills for the entire youth program. In addition, he also coached their A Bantams.   Mark graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2006 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

He has led his St. Olaf teams to MIAC playoffs appearances in six of his 11 seasons at the helm.   Bazzachini inherited two All-Americans -- Susannah Brokl and Lindsay Boeser -- and with the duo the 2006-07 season was the most successful. The team finished 15-10-1 overall and 12-5-1 in MIAC play that winter, good for a school-best second place finish and Bazzachini was named the league's coach of the year.   Bazzachini played two years of Division I hockey for the United States Air Force Academy, before transferring to and graduating from St. John's University. He was a two-time All-MIAC pick at St. John's, leading the Johnnies in scoring both seasons. Bazzachini captained the 1981 Johnnies.   Bazzachini coached the Irondale High School boys team for eight years and Hopkins for two seasons before joining St. Olaf's women's hockey staff in 2005.   He also served as a head coach for the CODP (Community Olympic Development Program), and is founder and President of John Bazzachini's Hockey Training, started in 1986, which trains over 700 kids a summer.   A native of Hibbing, Minn., he and his wife Pam have three daughters; Bailey, Lauren and Jennifer.   THE OLES UNDER JOHN BAZZACHINI
